The fluke season closes on Sunday.

The bag limit for sea bass from July 1 to Aug. 31 is three fish, not 15. Everything else was correct. I apologize for the error.

New York pushed hard for the plan and got it approved with most of the details yet to worked out. One big question left unanswered is what will happen when overfishing occurs. More to follow.

Before it ends, take advantage of the good fluking off the beach. Keepers are being caught in the surf from Sandy Hook south to Long Beach Island. Live snappers, killies, spearing and big Gulp baits are all doing the trick.

The winning shark tipped the scales at 386 pounds, not 286 as was reported in Tuesday’s column. My apologies. Check out Friday’s Hook, Line and Sinker for complete tournament coverage.

Thu, 23 May 2013 21:47:27 +0000http://blogs.app.com/hooked/?p=142Continue reading →]]>It’s shaping up to be a good holiday weekend to go fishing. The big stripers have arrived and are being caught from Island Beach State Park to Sandy Hook by boats using jigs and livelining bunker. Guys on the beach have been treated to a couple of blitzes in Long Branch with fish up to 40 pounds catching them on pencil poppers.

The fluke have also made a strong appearance since opening day, with lots of limits on party boats out of Atlantic Highlands fishing in Raritan Bay. They are also all over the Shark, Navesink, Shrewsbury and Manasquan rivers. Now’s the time to go fishing.

There’s been bass caught all along the beaches, except Sandy Hook, which is still closed. The Hook is scheduled to open May 1. Bob Matthews at Fisherman’s Den in Belmar called this afternoon and said a customer had caught more than 15 bass on clams in Spring Lake. Two were keepers. Time to go fish.
